    A while back, I picked up some sun visors (think they're out of an eighties-vintage County or something): here they are being cleaned up.

    Then it was time to fit them to the console (with the stereo) and whack the console in, which was pleasing to see finally in place.

    It looks a little bit dingy at present... just needs all my paw marks cleaned off it.

    Yes, they look like the ones in my County. The Series ones (optional deluxe trim) are narrower.

    Just got the manifolds off. I've decided to have a go at getting the crack in the exhaust manifold welded, as well as to get the manifold which Debruiser's offered.

    Photos later.

    Here are some photos. It's a pretty decent crack.

    Then I got down to making speaker boxes for the stereo. It was fun to be working with wood. It's so much nicer than steel or aluminium...

    Basically, like all such things, the result doesn't betray the time and thought that went into making them. I managed to come up with a way for mounting them in the rear of the hardtop, utilising bolts from the tropical panel and the hardtop sides and a few brackets.

    They're not perfect, but they'll do the job. They're certainly a lot better-made than the previous efforts.

    We wanna see the video this time John.

    Take it to Bauple, see the fairies, and give Wally back his sandblaster! (Brumby's spicy fruit bun loaf required)

    There's been a little more progress.

    Here's the repaired manifold. It seems to have come up alright.

    Driving around, the exhaust seems pretty good now. It even sounds, er, sporty...

    On the weekend, I fitted an interior light and a rear work light.

    I was particularly happy with installation of the interior light: I managed to drag the wiring through the strengthening rib in the roof and hide it completely.
